Warm Mushroom Zoodle Salad with Salmon and Shiitake Sesame Vinaigrette:
An easy to make, one pan, zoodle salad with shiitake mushrooms, seared salmon, and a delicious shiitake and sesame vinaigrette.
Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Annie’s Sesame Shiitake Dressing divided
- 2 tsp. Sesame oil
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 Salmon Fillets
- 4 oz. Shiitake Mushrooms sliced thin
- 2 Garlic Cloves sliced or minced
- 2 Green Onions sliced thin
- 4 cups Zucchini Noodles
- Sesame Seeds for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Pat the salmon dry, and season both sides with salt and pepper. In a heavy bottom skillet (I like cast iron), add the sesame oil and heat the skillet to medium heat. Sear the salmon, skin side down first and cook until crispy. Flip the salmon and add ¼ cup of the Annie’s Sesame Shiitake Dressing to the pan and let the salmon cook in the mixture until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes total.
- 2. Remove the salmon from the pan and set them aside. Leave the remaining dressing and add the mushrooms, garlic, and green onions. Cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the zoodles and cook just until tender. Place the salmon fillets back into the zoodle and mushroom salad mixture and drizzle the remaining 2 tbsp. of the dressing over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired and serve.
Notes
Use your peeler to make your zoodles if you don't have a spiralizer! It's an easy and more affordable way to prepare them at home.
